Pyrex scarce opal #402 mixing bowl

Shown on page 100 of the new revised Mauzy 2004 Pyrex book, this is the #402 bowl in the beloved and popular 400 bowl set. What sets this bowl apart is that is from the very rare 1954 Opal set.

In 1954, Pyrex produced the 400 Bowl set in this opal (milk) glass. This very brief period of production means this version of the bowl set is "extremely rare" according to Mauzy.

One of the advantages of this opal bowl is that is hides wear well. This bowl has very light wear to its inside. Unlike other bowls in the 400 series you can run this one through the dishwasher all you want with no fear of damaging the color as there is NONE.
